I would like to share a selection of photographs of some pieces that I have enjoyed creating. Please click onto the image to enlarge.

The bowl on the wheel, is a commemorative item for a group of second-world-war army veterans. They are Burma war veterans, and the bowl is a gift from my wife Barbara and myself, to express our great admiration for their courage and fortitude, both during and since those terrible years.
It is a millennium item, and I trust their memory will last another thousand years. My father Richard (Bob) now deceased, was also in Burma, Imphal and Kohima.

Beach Scene, the pictures above show me working on a pot portraying a beach landscape, showing a scene familiar to my family over many years, of the beach at St Ives in Cornwall. This beautiful spot is in the landscape of Cornwall, and it was my intention to capture in ceramic form, rather than the abundance of watercolour and oil paintings, which are available.

The bowl with leaves,
shown opposite, was commissioned by a local environmental group.

It is intended to reflect their concerns for the care and upkeep of the local tree population.

Opening the Kiln,
I had been commissioned to produce some Bonsai bowls, bowls which are not readily available (so I am informed) in this part of the UK. The bowls will be re-fired to produce a Bronze/metallic effect finish.

Napkin Rings, specially created for a wedding,
these items are my only venture using moulds.

Various Bowls, these are three of my "relaxation thrown pieces, with hand painted designs, they are not particularly significant, but represent a great way to relax,
and enjoy the "throwing" experience.

I'm here shaking hands with Cllr Graham Morgan (left) during the opening of the Friends of Court Hey Park Meeting Room.

Picture of my Wife Barbara and father-in-Law Jack Lindo, Barbara is holding Jack's Wonderfull book which has now gone into print detailing his early years and the Burma War.
